Programming Languages and Systems

This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 31st European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2022, which was held during April 5-7, 2022, in Munich, Germany, as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2022. The 21 regular papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. They deal with fundamental issues in the specification, design, analysis, and implementation of programming languages and systems

A Unified Framework for Binding-Time Analysis

. Binding-time analysis is a crucial part of offline partial evaluation. It is often specified as a non-standard type system. Many typebased binding-time analyses are reminiscent of simple type systems with additional features like recursive types. We make this connection explicit by expressing binding-time analysis with annotated type systems that separate the concerns of type inference from those of binding-time annotation. The separation enables us to explore a design space for bindingtime analysis by varying the underlying type system and the annotation strategy independently. The result is a classification of different monovariant binding-time analyses which allows us to compare their relative power. Due to the systematic approach we uncover some novel analyses. A partial evaluator separates the computation of a source program into two or more stages [7, 20]. Using the (static) input of the first stage it transforms a source program into a specialized residual program. Application..
